Afternoon, Got five (5)Pylontech US2000 plus batteries of which two are C models. Problem with one of them is that all the SOC lights and the red alarm light stays on. Manual say the battery is under protection. No charge or discharge. Switch off for 15 minutes as recommended with no success. No cell swelling visible. Inverter settings: Charging current. 80A. Charging Voltage. 52.5V. Floating Voltage. 51.8V. What can be the problem? Please advise. Dirkie Crous 0836473592 [email protected]

Morning Any possible answers regarding the above problem? Regards, Dirkie Crous

Afternoon, Current system: 8-330W panels, 4-340W panels. four 2.4Kwh Pilontech batteries. 5Kva inverter. Inverter settings: 01- SBU 02- 80A 03- UPS 04- SDS 05-USE 06-LRD 07- TRD 09- 50Hz 11- 30A 12- 47V 13- 49V 16- OSO 18- BOF 19- ESP 20- LON 22- AOF 23- BYE 25- FEN 26- 52.5V 27- 51.8V 29- 45V 31- SBE The system work very well. The last couple of days the Pv panels disconnect in the afternoon with still full son. The next morning the connect again. Please advise the possible cause of this. Many thanks Dirkie Crous

Afternoon, Want to add four 340 W solar panels to my existing system(8-340 W panels). 5Kva inverter. Also to add one PylonTech 2.4Kwh to the existing three batteries. Which settings need to changed to accommodate this? Please advise. Regards Dirkie Crous 0836473592 [email protected]

Thank you. Will implement. Regards

Morning, The change over switch was on ESCOM/ utility position and not on inverter position. This was done when the second battery was added to the system and not chanced back to inverter after installation. Working fine as it should. Sorry for creating a big issue for a simple switch position. Regards

Afternoon, Any feedback, answers etc to my latest writing? Regards

Morning, Switch of inverter and batteries as a test. Everything is working as if no solar was installed and meter is still counting. Is it a wiring problem etc?? Please advise.

Got solar geyser. Geyserwise put element on manually when necessary. This problem was noticed before geyser was connected to solar power system

Current settings: 01; SBU. 02; 50A. 03; UPS. 04; SDS. 05; USE. 06; LRD. 07; TRD. 09; 50Hz. 11; 20A. 12; 47V. 13; 50V. 16; OSO. 18; BOF. 19; ESP. 20; LON. 22; AOF. 23; BYE. 25; FEN. 26; 53.2V. 27; 51.2V. 29; 45V. 31; SBE. Regards

Nothing wrong with the settings. Refer back to my correspondence with Coulomb. The problem is that i am losing power on an hourly basis. About 300 - 400 Watt. Regards

No software. Originally with one battery the inverter change to line mode. With a second battery when the inverter change to solar there is still four SOC lights on (66.6% charge). The power use to charge the inverter, controller, circuit breakers, switches etc is it done through solar or utility? Is it a wiring problem? Please assist. Regards,

No, it does not go to utility during the night.

Got a split system. All lights, plugs geyser and pool pump on solar. Stove and oven on Escom (grid). Still consuming 9-10 units a day without using the stove and oven. Where is the power lost going? Please assist. Regards, Dirkie Crous

Afternoon, Current installation: 5KVA 48V inverter. 2 x 2.4KWH Pylontech batteries connected to 4 x 330W panels and 4 x 340W panels. Works very well. Want to get the maximum of the solar power available. After sunset it stays on battery power for while and switch to utility. The SOC lights shows four still on (66%). According to Pylontech the batteries can be discharge to 20%. Which inverter settings need to be change to achieve this? Regards, Dirkie Crous

Morning, If i add four 340W panels instead of the 330W panels, will the connections be the same as for the 330W panels? Please advise. Regards

Thanks. The 4 panels need to be connected in parallel to the current 4 panel 48 volt system. Please advise. Regards

Afternoon, Need to add four (4) 330W panels to my current system. Do i need to change any settings on the inverter? Please advise. Many thanks. Dirkie Thanks. The 4 panels need to be connected in parallel to the current 4 panel 48 volt system!! Please advise. Regards

Thanks for the information. Will implement and monitor.

Afternoon, I am new to the world of renewable energy. I have recently installed a 5 KVA inverter, one Pylontech US 2000 Plus Lithium-Ion Phosphate battery and four 330 Watt solar panels as a start off. The system works fairly well. The problem I got is that in the morning it change from utility to Solar to charge the battery and the loads (correct). When battery is fully charge , disconnect panels (correct). Problem: Connect to charge battery again, connect to utility/ Escom and not to the panels with full sunlight. Why? Current setting programs. 01: - SbU. 02: - 20A. 03: - APL. 04: - SdS. 05: - USE. 06: - Lrd. 07: - trd. 09: - 50Hz. 11: - 20A. 12: - 46V. 13: - 56V. 16: - SNU. 18: - bon. 19: - ESP. 20: - Lon. 22: - AOF. 23: - byE. 25: - FEN. 26: - 56.4V. 27: - 56V. 29: - 47V. 31. - SbE. Help will be highly appreciated. Regards, Dirkie
